Hi

Sorry for the delay. Here are some projects:

inetutils: https://github.com/guillemj/inetutils/blob/master/ftp/ruserpass.c#L127
uv: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/authentication/#http-authentication
python requests: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/authentication/
soon pip: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/authentication/
heroku netrc: https://github.com/heroku/netrc/commit/f22fc64fb1e601bea0645a4ecb01e0075807cf6d
pkg: https://github.com/freebsd/pkg/blob/b8df3569ae616e20399951f3d0524cac0ca03a8c/libpkg/fetch_libcurl.c#L372 terraform: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/language/providers
Httpx

Additionally, you can have a rough idea by also searching on github https://github.com/search?q=getenv%28%22NETRC%22%29&type=code

Best,

Can you list some of the many tools that do this? Just to give us a picture of
the land.
